ABOUT THE ITINERARY
Well, there is that. But, even more enthralling are Brazil’s vast tracts of unspoiled rainforests. In the Southern Amazon they are home to jaguars, Harpy eagles, giant otters, capybara and agouti. Not to mention a whole array of bizarre, multi-colored birds.
In the Northern Pantanal you’re likely to see anacondas and hyacinth macaws, caiman, armadillos, monkeys and anteaters. In Iguassu you’ll be surrounded by deep jungle and, of course, see the astounding Iguassu Falls.
Spend two weeks in awe at the stunning jungles, wetlands and waterfalls of Brazil.

SÃO PAULO

Stay: One night in a deluxe room at the Palacio Tangara – bed & breakfast
SOUTHERN AMAZON
Today you will fly from São Paulo into the lower Amazon jungle, changing planes along the way in Cuiaba.
On arrival you will be met and taken by road and boat into Cristalino’s 46 sq mile private reserve – a pristine forest area with a variety of natural habitats for creatures like jaguars, giant otters, capybara and agouti. Avid birdwatchers will be delighted to see Harpy eagles, as well as a continual parade of noisy, colorful birds.
You’ll stay near the confluence of two rivers, where there is a rich display of trees, orchids and bromeliads, attracting monkeys, bats, butterflies, birds, fish and reptiles in abundance. The lodge offers a variety of activities for guests to experience this wilderness, from photography excursions to hiking, canoeing, swimming and boat trips.
Stay: Four nights at Cristalino Jungle Lodge – Full board
NORTHERN PANTANAL
After breakfast you’ll return to Alta Florest airport for the flight south to Cuiaba, the entry point for Brazil’s northern Pantanal.
From Cuiaba you will be driven along the Trans-Pantaneira Highway into the seasonal wetlands, the savannah and unending forest that is the Pantanal. And you will not be alone. The region is full of creatures like monkeys, anteaters, anaconda, capybara, armadillo, giant river otters and hundreds of spectacular birds ranging from hyacinth macaw to jabiru stork and American rhea. One of your days in the Pantanal will be spent in the Porto Jofre region, where hopefully you’ll see the jagurs by the river bank.
Stay: Four nights at Araras Lodge – Full-board
IGUASSU FALLS
Now you fly from Cuiaba Airport to Iguassu to stay in an exceptional hotel within the Brazilian National Park.
You will be perfectly placed to explore the natural wonder that is the world famous Iguassu Falls – a soaring cascade of dashing water crashing down from an immense height. It’s both awesome and incredibly beautiful at the same time. A private tour will show you the Falls from both the Argentine and Brazilian sides. But there’s more. You’ll be surrounded by deep jungle; the natural habitat of a fine array of wildlife, plants and birds.
Stay: Three nights at the Belmond Das Cataratas – Bed & breakfast
DEPART BRAZIL
On your final day in Brazil you will return to Iguassu airport and connect onto a flight to São Paulo.
